Betty White has hosted Saturday Night Live. She starred in one of this year’s most popular Super Bowl commercials. She even got herself an MTV Movie Award nomination for her work feeling up Sandra Bullock in The Proposal. And now she’s back on weekly television with TV Land’s Hot in Cleveland.
So what’s left for the Golden Girl to do? How about Twilight? Yup, we think director Bill Condon should cast the 88-year-old legend in Breaking Dawn.
Guess who likes our idea: Robert Pattinson!
Read on to find out what he and many of his vampire movie costars have to say about Betty in Breaking. And no, we haven’t started a Facebook campaign…at least not yet.
R.Pattz didn’t miss a beat when we asked him at the Eclipse premiere if he thinks White should be in BD. “Definitely,” he said. “She can be the baby.”
The baby he’s referring to, of course, is Edward and Bella’s daughter, Renesmee.
He’s not the only one who thought of that. “Oh, my gosh,” Kellan Lutz said. “I love Betty. I would love for them to do what they did in Benjamin Button with her and she can be Renesmee. I would change some scenes up so we could have Jacob and Emmet going for her. I want to work with her. That would be so much fun.”
Elizabeth Reaser agrees. “Is there a part for her?” she asked. “I’d love for her to be in Breaking Dawn. We could all learn a lot from her.”
Twilight newbie Julia Jones, who plays Leah Clearwater in Eclipse, suggested White play Bella’s “great-great-grandmother in a flashback scene.”
Stephenie Meyer immediately had visions of White as bloodsucker. “We have so many vampires in Breaking Dawn, surely she can fit in somewhere,” Meyer said. “Wouldn’t it be amazing if she was like just sitting there with a big group of the Volturi? That would be amazing.”
Peter Facinelli had much bigger plans. “I think Betty White should be in…everything!” he said. “I’d put her in Breaking Dawn and then I’d like to see Betty White do an action movie in 3-D. She should be in the next Avatar.”

Rob said recently he was very challenged by Slade in playing the role of Edward this time around, and that it felt like a new character. What was the dynamic between Rob and David like?
“You know, David has talked about how Edward has to go from having just gotten Bella back to literally ripping someone’s throat out at the end [of Eclipse]. It’s a hard journey to get to for a character. So I know David worked with Rob in terms of bringing out that dark aspect of him, and we worked together on the script to make sure that was in there.”
Change can be unnerving for an actor, so was Pattinson onboard to bring this new character out? Or did he prefer the Edward in Twilight and New Moon?
“Oh sure. Rob is a courageous actor. He wants something to chew on, as it were! He wanted something meaty to really be able to act.”

The third film in the Twilight saga, Eclipse, opened at midnight in theatres on Wednesday, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) decided to bring this bit of pop-culture into the Senate hearings concerning the nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court. The hearings have been going on since Monday, with Kagan answering questions throughout each day.
“I guess it means you missed the midnight debut of the third Twilight movie last night,” Sen. Klobuchar said. “We did not miss it in our household, and it culminated in three 15-year-old girls sleeping over at 3 a.m.”
“I didn’t see that,” Kagan said.
“I keep wanting to ask you about the famous case of Edward v. Jacob, or The Vampire v. The Werewolf,” Sen. Klobuchar said, opening her questioning with a bit of lightheartedness.
“I wish you wouldn’t,” Kagan said with a laugh.
In the book and film series, the two characters — Edward, a vampire played by Robert Pattinson, and Jacob, a werewolf played by Taylor Lautner — battle for the love of the female lead, Bella.
As Kagan said in later testimony, a judge plays for neither team, but acts independently. She practices what she preaches, because she refused to commit to either Team Edward or Team Jacob.
